This and That

I'm getting new furniture (a desk and chair for me and a table and chairs for the public computers) at work tomorrow. Even when I started at the library in 1999, the furniture wasn't exactly in great condition, so I'm really excited to have a change.

I'm also taking the last week in December off from work to spend with Maya. She has a ridiculously long winter break from school, with her last day on December 22, and her first day back January 9.

Maya and I plan to spend part of vacation in Kansas City since my mom and her bridge (card game) partner have a tournament there. We can visit the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, see the Country Club Plaza holiday lights and decorations, shop a little, eat out (one of my favorite things to do), and swim at the hotel pool (Maya's favorite part of the plan) while they conquer the bridge tournament. Should be fun.

I turn 47 today, so please leave a comment about a favorite birthday memory (yours or a time you spent with someone else) to get a spot in a drawing for a $47 online gift card to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Etsy (winner's choice). You have until 5 p.m. CST on Thursday, March 2, to comment.
